Subject: [ANNOUNCE] The Linux Test Project has been released for JANUARY 2021

Good news everyone,

the Linux Test Project test suite stable release for *January 2021* has been
released.

Since the last release 303 patches by 35 authors were merged.

NOTABLE CHANGES
===============

* New tests
  - finit_module()
  - init_module()
  - delete_module()
  - semctl09 for SEM_STAT_ANY flag
  - msgctl06 for MSG_STAT_ANY flag
  - shmctl04 for SHM_STAT_ANY flag
  - sendmmsg() failure tests
  - recvmmsg() failure tests
  - open_by_handle_at()
  - name_to_handle_at()
  - ptrace11 to check if we can trace PID 1
  - select04 failure tests
  - select04 to check if rfds/wfds flags are clered on empty/full fd

* New regression tests
  - inotify10 added test for fecc4559780d (fsnotify: fix events reported to watching parent and child)
  - fanotify09 for 7372e79c9eb9 (fanotify: fix logic of reporting name info with watched parent)
  - ptrace10 bd14406b78e6 (perf/hw_breakpoint: Modify breakpoint even if the new attr has disabled set)

* Increased coverage
  - fanotify09 added case with FAN_CLOSE_NOWRITE on a sibling non-dir child

* Removed tests
  - sync01, sync02 these tests were useless so there was no point in keeping them 

* The metadata extraction patchset was merged. LTP now produces metadata.json
  with a metadata for new library testcases and also html test catalogue build
  from the extracted metadata.

  https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/docparse/README.md

* Kernel .config parser was rewritten to support proper boolean expressions

* LTP now requires pkg-config > 0.23 (working version 0.24 was released in 2010)

* Error handling in test library (mostly SAFE_MACROS()) was unified

* High level test library overview was written:
  https://github.com/linux-test-project/ltp/blob/master/lib/README.md

* IMA/EVM
 - fixed ima_tpm.sh for TPM 2.0 and for TPM 1.2 on kernel >= v5.8 (commit 6f1a1d103b48)
 - rewrote ima_boot_aggregate.c to new API

* 16 testcases were converted to the new test library

+ The usual amount of fixes and cleanups.

NOTABLE CHANGES IN NETWORK TESTS

    (tests in net.features and net_stress.ipsec_* runtest files)
  - if-mtu-change.sh on s390x: fix max packet size for IPv4

* Compatibility fixes:
  - ping and traceroute from BusyBox
